Frank Zappa

Guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and composer Frank Zappa is among the most iconoclastic figures in rock music. Throughout his career, he simultaneously subverted and exploited rock’s trappings and clichés while, at the same time, created a vast body of always intriguing and often exceptional albums. From quirky pop to serious compositions, with excursions into jazz, rock, doo-wop, funk, and electronic music along the way; he consistently explored music’s possibilities.
